We don't have that choice in the UK. Even for those of us that have gone through the time consuming process to obtain a Firearms Certificate, there are still massive restrictions on storage, use, etc. They are not a means of defence under any circumstances here in the UK, so its not a matter of whether you feel safe or not without one - there is no choice!

Don't forget, even our regular Police Officers do not carry firearms as a routine so no way will the public ever be allowed to!!

That's exactly why our public aren't allowed to have them...... but that decision was taken by our Govt a loooong time ago and won't ever be changed......if anything it will just get ever more restrictive over here.
